TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Patricia Ann (Conner) Mundinger, beloved mother and grandmother, passed away early Sept. 15, 2010 due to advanced Alzheimer’s. She suffered from this terrible disease for the last 10 years. The youngest of eight children born in Ft. Branch, Ind., the family moved to Beecher, Ill. where she also went to high school.

Mundinger in August of 1962, and moved to Park Forrest Ill. in 1969, where she worked as a bookkeeper for a car dealership until the family moved to Plymouth in 1978.
With bowling a passion, she worked at Quick’s Lanes throughout the 80s and eventually opening up JR’s Lanes & Lounge Family Fun Center in Crown Point, Ind., in January 1992.
Active in foster care and helping underprivileged children, she became ME’MA in June 1994 when her first grandson was born. She was blessed with two more.
